SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Damascus Lockback Folding Knife is a timeless piece that blends traditional form with dependable function. Built for the field, the workshop, or everyday carry, this knife delivers rugged performance with classic materials and craftsmanship that stands out in the hand and in your gear.
The 3.25-inch clip point blade is forged from layered Damascus steel, known for its distinctive ripple patterns and exceptional toughness. This blade doesn’t just look sharp—it cuts with precision and holds an edge well under consistent use. The clip point shape offers a strong tip for piercing and finer detail work, while the nail nick provides easy, two-handed opening in the field or at camp. Whether you're dressing small game, slicing cord, or tackling daily cutting tasks, this blade is ready for the job.
This lockback mechanism offers reliability and security when the blade is engaged. With a positive snap into the locked position, you can work with confidence knowing the blade won’t close until you're ready. It’s a traditional, tried-and-true locking system that’s favored for its durability and ease of use with gloves or wet hands.
The handle features richly grained brown wood scales, offering a warm, natural feel with the durability to withstand years of use. Stainless steel bolsters add strength and balance, while the brass pins give it a traditional look with secure, long-lasting construction. The lanyard hole at the rear allows for quick attachment to gear or for threading a paracord lanyard for added retention and style.
At 4.25 inches closed, this knife fits comfortably in a pocket or pack, offering compact portability without sacrificing cutting power. It weighs 4.8 ounces—substantial enough for tough tasks, yet light enough for comfortable carry on the job or outdoors. Whether you’re an enthusiast, a working hand, or someone who appreciates well-built knives, this folder brings together beauty, strength, and function. Order it today from SMKW!
